About WWRS-TV
Full-power stations are the main licensed broadcasters in a market. They may run the highest power from the tallest towers and are protected from interference, so they set the core of what you can receive.
At 504 kW effective radiated power, WWRS-TV runs more power than 61% of full-power TV stations nationwide (median: 273 kW).
Its antenna sits 186 m above the average surrounding terrain, higher than 8% of full-power stations. Taller antennas see farther: this one's radio horizon is roughly 43 miles, beyond which the signal fades quickly.
We estimate a fair-or-better signal out to about 54 miles with an outdoor antenna. That area includes 158 cities and towns in our guide with about 2,320,000 residents, as far as Caledonia, WI (53 miles).
The nearest other Trinity station in our data is WMWC-TV in Galesburg, IL, 175 miles away. Viewers between the two can sometimes receive both.
Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) is a Christian religious broadcaster with a large network of owned stations and translators.
